I still get a lot of "wow, your camera is magical" Comments.
And honestly..it is not..is a cheap ass dslr.
The color grain and the way the canon 350D handles light and sharpness is poor.
is a beginner camera for people unknown to photography.
It is not impossible to take good shots with it, by all means, but post processing is necessary.

When i photograph i never use tripod or complex rig-ups, i simply make sure i got the composition, depth of field, and choose the ISO necessary to avoid movement blur.

Most of my photos have lack of sharpness and grain in them, before i edit them.
For me the editing stage is just as important as the photography.

It is all about taking it in small steps.
Imagine how you want the image to look like, understand how to selective select areas you want to work with.
Remove grain before you sharpen and bump up the colors.
Read tutorials about cross processing effects.

I have been thinking about posting some before and after shot for some of my most edited work..
i think you guys would be O_o
For me it is about the result. If the image is fine as it is, then just do the basic.
if i love the compositon and subject, but its way off on quality, i can spend hours tweaking.

Hey! I wanted to drop a note, but the window wasn't working...so... The sharpness on your photographs represent the greatest eye candy for, me it is ideal, i could say perfect. That's why i want to complain about having troubles with the sharpness, mostly after resizing, and even more after uploading! I use a compact camera(CanonS5), but i feel pretty ok about the raw picture; PS CS5, sometimes Noiseware. If you have any advice for resizing or any idea of why are pictures turning unsharp or even grainy after uploading, i'd be very happy if you'd share it with me(us). Thank you!
